* StolenCreditBackfire: [[spoiler:Skyfall stole credit for designing Optimus Prime's trademark ion blaster, claiming that the only reason he didn't correct Optimus was [[BlatantLies to protect Optimus's image]]. This leads to Skyfall being hailed as a genius weapons designer and assigned to the Kimia Facility, the key Autobot research and development facility. When Ironfist developed cold phosphex (better known as the glass gas famously used by Cliffjumper), Skyfall developed an even more potent version called black phosphex. It was so potent, in fact, that a group of Autobots field testing it were almost killed when their weapons crumbled to dust in their hands, leaving them defenseless. The debacle resulted in Skyfall being demoted to prison guard.]]

That said, given that he's snapped right back in "Requiem", it's possible he was being influenced by the conscience-weapon Swerve was using from the Necrobot's fortress.
